No way in heck. I was in the lower 48 states of the US and got a call from a
telemarketer while I was roaming on a ship on a lake. I was billed .69
(Sixty Nine Cents a minute!) for a frigging incoming call from a
telemarketer while I was on vacation!

Your numbers are probably for land line to land line, yet this was in a
message about telemarketers calling a cellphone! Yes it's illegal to call
someone on a cellphone, but if you are on vacation what the heck are you
gonna do? I was 2847 miles from home and the verizon office I deal with.,

Those two cents are for huge plans when one uses them fully. Something
like $100 for 5000 minutes.

Well here it is not illegal to telemarket to cell phones and if one
is in, say, Spain it is about 50 cents a minute to receive calls.
